SeaQuench Ale S

Big hints of lime. Salty but not overkill. Decent sour, citrus finish. I’m not a big fan of sours, but this one is decent.

KBS Blueberry S

Oh so much better then the Kentucky blueberry barrel aged stout. Rich, thick, big on the blueberry’s and the bourbon shines through!! I guess the blueberry’s in Michigan are way better than the ones in Kentucky!! Ph so good!!

Highball Drifter (2022) S

Bottled on 6/9/22, yet still a bit boozy. The cherries hit me up front with caramel. Spicy and orange peel on the down side with some hints of bourbon (not enough) Sadly too thin for me!! Spicy finish. From my Belmonts beer club 6 pack.

Bottle Shop Series Belgian Twist S

Lots of yeast, lots of sweetness upfront hints of orange, says it has a substantial amount of blue agave nectar, that may be what I’m tasting that has bitterness??? It’s not that great. Has a nice dry finish

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) S

Last time I had one of these it was overkill on sweetness. This one is hints of sweetness upfront with much more coffee and dark cocoa bitterness going down. Appears to be different batches. Still a very good beer! Hardly any hints of the barrel.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa S

Desert after turkey, ham, mashed potato, and much more!! It pared well with my pumpkin cheesecake. Oh yeah, sugar sweetness overkill!!! All the sweetness seems to hide the coffee. Nice barrel. The pumpkin cheesecake gets a 4.85!!!
